Kommunity Game KBE
Let's build a game together!
I've put together the basic framework for a memory-style tile match game (with a few twists) but it's up to the Kommunity to create new levels. But before I try to describe the game or how to create a level, try it for yourself.
To add the game to your RhettAndLinKommunity profile:
1) Go to https://rhettandlink.ning.com/opensocial/application/addByUrl
2) In the App URL input box type (or cut and paste) the following URL: http://games.majorfracas.com/mmc4os/mmcapp.xml
3) Click the Add App button
To play the game, click on the My Apps link found in the left hand column of your profile page (My Page tab). The game should be pretty self-explanatory.
Now that you've tried it, let me tell you about some of the variations available in the game.
First, the game will support either simple match play (match identical images) or what I like to call "puzzle match" play. Puzzle match play is where the tiles that match have different images (words or other clues) that are somehow related and it is up to the player to recognize the "match". Both of the sample levels provided (Alter Egos, Know Your Cheese) are examples of puzzle match play.
The game will support different quantities of matching tiles, for example match-two, match-three, etc. The game will also support games of 20 larger tiles (76px) or 30 smaller tiles (57px).
In addition, there are a couple of variations to make the game play more interesting.
"Bomb" mode reserves 1 tile (or set of tiles) to be the "bomb". If you uncover a bomb tile without a match, all of the previously matched tiles are turned over, effectively resetting the game to the beginning. The sample level "Know Your Cheese" is an example of bomb-mode. Uncovering a mouse tile, without matching it to the other mouse tile, will reset the game.
"Swap" mode exchanges the location of mismatched tiles. In other words, if you uncover 2 tiles that don't match, then when they are flipped back over, their locations are "swapped". This means that as you play the game, the position of the tiles will change making it more difficult to keep track of where things are. Currently swap-mode is only available for match-two play.
What do you need to create a game level? Your creative ideas and images!
You can create a simple match game to showcase your artwork. Or create a puzzle match level based on one (or more) of Rhett and Link's videos. Or you can collaborate and create a level based on one of the KBEs (Randler, Mythical Beasts, etc.) The possibilities are endless and limited only by our collective imagination!
So, who's game?!

Glad you like it. So make us a level, already!

We're up to 6 levels in the game.
Thanks to Corey Kramer, we have 2 levels based on his amazing artwork!
And just added today, 2 new Holiday-themed levels ... try it out for yourself! (Check out the first post in this discussion for instructions on how to install the game on your profile.)
And if you've got an idea for a level but would like some help making it a reality, post a note here and I can help you out.
BTW, the game still has some bugs on Internet Explorer that I have yet to fix. Is that a problem for anyone? Or is everyone using Firefox anyway? Let me know if the IE bugs are preventing you from enjoying the game and I'll make fixing the bugs a priority.
Cheers,
Major Fracas

So what did you think of the Mystery Match levels? Do you think you could encourage some of the other artists in the Kommunity (say Eve, Nikki, etc) to offer some of their art to the cause? I'd be happy to do the same for some of their pics.

I've been a very active Kommunity member since Jun-09, but somehow never saw your game app or the KBE you created around it. I'm not very computer savy, but had actually thought about an R&L match game some time ago and had been looking for an off-the-shelf program to make some games.
I successfully loaded the Memory Match Challenge Kommunity Edition to my apps and it works fine (using Windows Internet Explorer) for play on the four saved levels. But i can't figure out from the instructions here in the KBE discussion of the game is still available for additional levels - -
Is adding a new level something that I'm supposed to be able to do, or do I need to give you the photo captures and you can create/add in all that free time I'm sure you have (HA!). Anyways, the first one I had thought of doing is similar to the ALTER EGOS game:
Other game level ideas:
- - Know Your K-Mods (match moderator name/beast to photo)
- - My Face / My Beast (match pics / beast for selection of active members)
- - all images will be used with permission, of course
So anyways, I will understand if you've decided to move along to bigger and better things, but if you are interested in adding new levels to the game I would love to put a few like this together and try and promote it again in the Kommunity.

Gumbo123,
Great ideas!
I don't know what imaging editing software you may have or are familiar with, but it is possible to create the level image yourself if you are so inclined. I think the biggest challenge is cropping/sizing the images appropriately so they look good at the small tile size.
Since you've identified a set of 10 matches for the "Where on the road...?" level, let's start with that one first. I can take the images you've included above and show you what the outcome should look like. Then we can try it out and modify as necessary.
Cheers,
David

Gumbo123,
Thanks for the great ideas and the images. I've added the "Where on the Road are Rhett and Link?" level to the game.
Try it out and let me know what you think. Since the tiles are small, the images may not be terribly clear. I think it is still very playable. (I got a 46 on it...)

Thanks so much! I got a 52 (my favorite number of all time, btw) on the first run of "Where on the Road"
The image which was posted here is just a quickie created from video screen captures cropped down and posted into an Excel spreadsheet (what can I say, I'm an accountant), the formatted, copied and pasted into Microsoft Paint to save as a JPEG file. I know that sounds crazy, but I'm not very software savy. The images are larger / clearer if you go the the original pic post here and then view full size.
I'll see if I can figure out your tutorial on how to add levels and get a couple more of these submitted for your
approval. Once again, thanks for your efforts. The game is just good, simple yet mythical fun.

Cee,
Please let me know the specific error you are experiencing, when it occurs and what browser you are using. I might be able to fix the problem.
